Definitions
- a system and method to jointly suppress a Direct Current (DC) offset and remove radio-frequency (RF) impairments encountered in quadrature-conversion is disclosed.
- the method and system cope particularly well with strong in-phase/quadrature (IQ) imbalance that is frequency-selective in broadband applications, while tolerating frequency error between mixers at a transmitter and a receiver.
- the method and system are effective for a single wideband carrier signal or a signal including multiple carriers at different carrier frequencies.
- the system and method are adaptive and do not require a priori knowledge about the RF impairments impulse response.
- RF Radio Frequency
- Special cases of quadrature-conversion architectures include zero-intermediate Frequency (IF) and low-IF converters.
- Analog elements are used for frequency conversion to implement mixers, filters, amplifiers, and oscillators. However, the imperfections and finite tolerance of analog elements induce mismatch between the in-phase/quadrature (IQ) branches of the converters.
- a mismatch between the phase and gain of the IQ mixer arms creates imbalance that is constant over the signal band.
- the mismatch between the analog anti aliasing filters in the IQ arms causes an imbalance that is frequency-selective.
- DC Direct-Current
- LO Local Oscillator
- FIG. 1 illustrates a prior art quadrature-conversion system operating on a bandpass input r(t) and providing an output x(t).
- the output x(t) includes imperfections from the analog RF elements, such as hi(t) and HV > ( ⁇ ).
- a mismatch in a gain g and a phase f between an in-phase arm and a quadrature arm of a LO mixer induce a frequency-independent IQ imbalance, whereas the mismatch between the analog anti-aliasing filters fa(t) and hg(t) contribute to frequency- selective IQ imbalance.
- the filter h(t) is common to the two paths. For broadband systems, the difference between these anti-aliasing filters hi(t) and hg(t) in each of the IQ arms becomes significant as it is difficult to maintain a match over a large frequency range in the analog domain.
- the LO carrier leakage induces a DC offset a OC I and a OC Q in each arm separately. Furthermore, there is an unavoidable frequency error, denoted as / , between the mixers placed at the transmitter and the receiver. The frequency error harms performance if not addressed properly.
- the present teachings jointly or singly, suppress the DC offset and remove an imbalance encountered in quadrature-conversion systems, coping particularly well with in phase/quadrature (IQ) imbalance that is strong and frequency-selective in broadband applications. This is done while tolerating frequency error that exists between mixers placed at a transmitter and a receiver.
- the present teachings are adaptive and do not depend upon a priori knowledge about an RF impairments impulse response.
- the present teachings operate as data-aided initially, for example, at the factory.
- the present teachings operate in decision-directed mode, for example, during normal operation without requiring training data at or from a gateway.

- the coefficients are computed directly without requiring transformation between time and frequency domains. This may reduce computational needs. Significant gains are demonstrated when compared with systems that do not use the present teachings.
